Chapter 774

Since the success of Johnson & Johnson's experiment, Professor glonster and his experiment have been in the whirlpool of public opinion. For a while, the topic has become more hot than the BFR rocket on its way to Mars.

There are many arguments about the technology of human cryodormancy, but the majority of ordinary people are against it.

Even though it may provide a way for terminally ill patients to survive, the cost of keeping a freezer running for decades, however you think, is not the cost that ordinary people can afford.

If such technology is destined to serve only the upper class, and the resulting social costs have to be passed on to the "awake", then there seems to be no reason for the bottom people to support its existence.

A Dutch performance artist even drew a satirical painting for this. He put the mummy frozen in the ice coffin on the throne. A group of servants in suits knelt down to it on one knee, holding a group of slaves in rags in their shackles. The moral is to satirize those rich people who want to enjoy their wealth in the future, just like the Pharaohs thousands of years ago.

A science fiction writer in North America depicts a dystopian society ruled by a group of ice coffins that will never wake up, and servants who will never want their master to wake up.

In that anti Utopian society, people live a life of extreme poverty, social development stagnates, and the stratum solidifies to the possibility that a person can hardly realize the class leap through his own efforts, because the vast majority of wealth is monopolized in the hands of those "immortals" and their servants.

Although in a sense, these views are all one-sided, the problems caused by them have indeed attracted the attention of many people of insight.

The issue of whether this technology is against ethics has been a heated debate both inside and outside the academic community.

However, just as the public opinion disputes continue, a great event has taken place.

Just when everyone was criticizing this technology, Jinling Institute of higher learning quietly set up a research group of human cryogenics technology, and invited Professor Liu Zuobing, director of cell cryogenics Research Office of Basic Medical Research Institute of PLA General Hospital, as the person in charge of the project.

As soon as the news came out, there was an uproar in the world.

If it's any shrimp, what is Jinling Institute of higher learning?

That's the cradle of controllable fusion technology!

The birthplace of the auspicious space plane!

The most important thing is that the dean is Professor Lu, and it's also him who approves the research

Many people who oppose the technology are feeling a bit bad, especially those who are crazy about human body freezing technology.

Nima!

The subject that Professor Lu is staring at!

What if it's really studied out?!

Although the land boat never showed some extraordinary talent in the field of biology, and the articles published in the past did not involve the research in this field at all, no one can guarantee that there will not be any in the future.

After all, there are so many miracles created by land boats.

Not only that, some people even acutely recognized the name of Professor Liu Zuobing, who was in charge of the research group, and pointed out that they had seen it in the quotation of Professor glonster's paper

All kinds of signs show that the land boat seems not to be joking, but really intends to solve the problem.

……

In the Department of Economics building at Princeton University.

Professor Angus diton, who was sitting in the office, took off his glasses on the bridge of his nose with a face full of anger and threw his newspaper heavily on the table.

"It's unbelievable!"

Standing across the desk, Professor Witten smiled and took a sip of tea, Wendell said politely.

"What's the matter? My friend. "

If he was only half bald five years ago, now he has only a beard on his head.

No way, time will not forgive.

Born in 1951, he is now over 70 years old, and he has reached the age of counting days.

Especially in the first two years, his old friend Professor Atia closed his eyes peacefully after he failed to challenge Riemann's conjecture, which greatly touched him. To this day, he has been living a semi reclusive life in Princeton, rarely as active as a few years ago.

"I don't understand why Lu Zhou did such a thing! With his wisdom, you can't think of it! " Angrily complaining, Professor Angus took the computer from the side, opened the mailbox, trembling fingers on the keyboard, editing the email.

Looking at the excited old friend, Witten said with a smile.

"Don't get excited, my friend. We are not young any more. Pay attention to your blood pressure."

"But, in a word I have to stop him! "

Put the teacup in his hand gently, Witten thought for a moment, then said."Maybe Does he have his own problems? "

Angus frowned at Witten as his fingers on the keyboard paused.

"You mean Did the Chinese government force him to do so? "

"That's not true, but it's impossible!" Edward Witten smiled, paused for a moment, and continued, "he's a very assertive person, and no one can force him to do anything he doesn't want to do. Likewise, once he has made up his mind, no one can stop him. "

Angus was silent for a while, and slowly took off the old glasses on the bridge of his nose, and then he leaned on the chair tremblingly.

"Then why did he do so, as you know him?"

"You're wrong. I don't know him very well. Even when I was in Princeton, I only knew him as a gifted scholar," Witten continued after a pause. "Professor feverman knew him better and respected him more. And I To some extent, I agree with Professor feffman, and I also think he is a respectable scholar. "

Professor Angus said angrily, with some irony, "even if he is doing something wrong with his knowledge?"

"Who can say well about the future? It may be a bit politically incorrect to say that, but I don't think human body freezing technology is as bad as you think? " Professor wisto smiled and said, "no invention is worse than a telephone, is it? Nowadays, young people are not interested in using love letters to express romance. "

Angus shook his head and said, "you don't understand."

Witten said with a smile, "do I really understand economics? Maybe it's the thinking of Neo Confucianism that limits me? But I think we are all mutual, just like in your eyes, I can only use mathematics to study physics, like an old stubborn, in my eyes, to study those crude and aesthetic mathematical models of you, what's the difference? "

"It's not a crude mathematical model, but a carefully checked phenomenal model! To a certain extent, it objectively reveals the objective laws of human social activities, "Angus's eyebrows pick a pick and sneer, saying," if you look down on those things, why don't you try to get a Nobel Prize with your own mathematical model? "

Reaching out and rubbing his eyebrows, Witten joked: "Oh You've got a problem for me. Maybe I won't have a chance until the cryogenics allow me to go to the future, if I can live to that day. "

"Eternal life means eternal death, my friend, it's not a bad thing to accept the end of life calmly," Professor Angus continued after a deep look at Witten. "I know that Sir Atia's death has a great impact on you, but we will all have this day. It's nothing to worry about."

"I don't want to discuss this issue with you," Witten said with a smile and his eyes turned away. "Since you have something to say to him, why don't you meet him and talk to him face to face? Every time I chat with him, I can benefit a lot If it wasn't for the doctor's advice that I try to fly less, I'd like to come with you. "

"Ha ha, that's what I mean!"

With the computer turned off, Professor Angus stood up tremblingly from his office chair and walked to the door.

Looking at the old friend who left the office, Witten smiled and shouted.

"Remember to say hello to Professor Lu for me, saying that his old friends miss him very much and play cards together when they are free!"

There was no response outside the office.

It seems that Professor Angus has gone far.

Witten smiled and shook his head. Holding the armrest of the sofa, he slowly stood up.

"Time is one second less. How could I not have noticed it before..."

Muttering to himself, his eyes drifted out of the window, looking at the dove on the branch, which was cleaning its feathers, and suddenly came a sentence without end.

"Good."
